Peeling shutter and weathered exterior wood needing replacement

Rotten wood replacement

Paint will not save a board that is already gone

Upper Valley freeze-thaw finds the weak joints. We replace failed fascia, window sills, casings, and clapboard on Vermont and New Hampshire houses so the new coat has sound wood under it.

What we replace

Window sills that cup and split, fascia that holds water, corner boards, and clapboard with soft grain. Common failures on older Hanover, Norwich, and Lyme houses. Small repairs and longer runs both get primed and folded into the finish schedule.

Why it belongs with the painter

The crew that sees the failure should fix it before the first coat. Sending a second trade later leaves open wood and a broken schedule. We cut, fit, prime, and paint in one job.

Where we do this work

We replace rotten fascia, sills, and clapboard in Orford, Lyme, Hanover, Norwich, Thetford, Fairlee, and towns across the valley before the paint goes on.

Do I need to hire a separate carpenter for wood repairs?

No. We handle rotten wood replacement in-house. Keeping carpentry with the painter means the crew that spots the failure fixes it immediately, keeping your project on schedule.

What kind of wood do you use for replacements?

We match the existing profile and use rot-resistant materials whenever possible. Every new piece of wood is properly primed on all sides before installation to prevent future failure.
